AFAIK, they are the same diameter, just seems bigger because the new lug bolts have a flange. But the tapered degree are the same.
The spacer style design is supposed to be easier to torque.
So, just one time torquing instead of re-torquing again after a few miles of driving.

Thanks for clarifying. Yes the degree of taper was the same, just that OE ones had a larger flange as you say.
Just wanted to check there's no problem replacing with normal bolts (I was using the ones from G30 spacers)
